No Wrigley Hawk Roost


White Sox announcer Ken “Hawk” Harrelson wants the world to know he will never step foot again into Wrigley Field to broadcast a game.  The Hawk complained over the weekend, “[Wrigley has the] Worst press box, worst booths for television.  It’s a joke.  It really is.”   That Hawk, always looking out for the little guy.

On a related subject, Harrelson is “writing” a book, in which he’ going to get the truth out to counter what three unnamed critics have said about him.  Here’s guessing that two of those targets won’t be Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf and former MLB Commissioner Bud Selig.  In all the years I’ve had the misfortune of listening to him, Hawk has never made much of an effort to speak truth to power.  Cozy up to power, yes, but not challenge it.  But there’s probably a broken-down sportswriter or ex-general manager somewhere he wants to even the score against.
I can hardly wait.
